the jar can be viewed as a symbol of human intervention or artistic creation imposing order or altering the natural world. The jar's ability to "dominate" the wilderness and "take dominion" Over it further emphasizes its symbolic power. It stands as a human creation, representing the position of human order and control over nature. The wilderness, which once appeared "uncorrelated," becomes organized and influenced by the presence of the jar.
